Use the distributive property to solve the equation 28-(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x. Show your work.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x

We need to use the distributive property for the right side.

28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)

28−3x−4=2x+2+x

−3x+24=3x+12

From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.

−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x

6x+24=12

Transfer +24 on the right side.

6x=12−24

6x=−12

Finally, divide both sides by −6

6x/-6 = -12/-6

x=2

I need help with this one asap please and thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(m² - 3m + 2) / (m² - m)

we see due to a little bit of experience with expressions and multiplications of expressions that

(m² - 3m + 2) = (m - 2)(m - 1)

(m² - m) = m(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m - 1) / (m(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / m

so, that's not it.

(m² - 2m + 1) / (m - 1)

we see again

(m² - 2m + 1) = (m - 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 1)(m - 1) / (m - 1) = m - 1

so, that's not it.

(m² - m - 2) / (m² - 1)

we see again

(m² - m - 2) = (m - 2)(m + 1)

and

(m² - 1) = (m + 1)(m - 1)

so,

(m - 2)(m + 1) / ((m + 1)(m - 1)) = (m - 2) / (m - 1)

yes, that is the solution.

(2m² - 4m) / (2(m - 2))

2m(m - 2) / (2(m - 2)) = 2m/2 = m

no, that is not a solution.

(look at the images) can i get help on these?

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

JK + KL = JL , substitute values

2x + 1 + 6x = 81, that is

8x + 1 = 81 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

8x = 80 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 10

Thus JK = 2x + 2 = 2(10) + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

KL = 6x = 6 × 10 = 60

--------------------------------------------------------------

JK + KL = JL , substitute values

2x + x + 2 = 5x - 10 , that is

3x + 2 = 5x - 10 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2 = 2x - 10 ( add 10 to both sides )

12 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

6 = x

Thus

JK = 2X = 2 × 6 = 12

KL = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

JL = 5x - 10 = 5(6) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20

------------------------------------------------------------

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = S(7, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = T(1, - 5)

d = $\sqrt{(1-7)^2+(-5-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}$

= $\sqrt{36+64}$

= $\sqrt{100}$ = 10

When a certain number is divided by 25 the result is 32 reminder 17 . What is the number

hoa [83]

Multiply 25 by 32 then add 17:

25 x 32 = 800

800 + 17 = 817

The number is 817
